Popis: This article is based on the author's personal experience growing up as an athletic girl. The main focus is on lesbianism as a female experience. The main reference is Birgit Palzkill's research on lesbian athletics in Germany, in which becoming a lesbian enabled woman to solve the conflict between the traditional female role and their own sexual femininity. Sensuality and femininity were reflected through another woman which strengthened one's feeling of being a woman.
